Munou to Yobareta "Seirei Tarashi" ~Jitsuwa Inou de, Seirei Kaide wa Densetsuteki Hero Deshita~ - Vol. 4 Ch. 19 - Ice Spirit Queen, Adores Me

[essensue]

Water level's always the worst.

 

[K-Lye]

Wind.. check! Water.. check! Just Fire and Earth to go.. Or maybe Light & Dark as well to for a Full House Spirit waifu set?

SO WHAT WERE YOU SAYING IS THAT, WHEN TIFON WAS GOING TO MARRY THE HERO, SHE'D HAVE TO KISS HIS SHOEEESSS!?

BROOOOOOOOOOOO

To be honest, this lore drop is kind of interesting. Like, I was shocked that the sealing vow was to kiss his shoes.

I thought it's just Water Spirit's tradition, but turned out the marriage between human and spirit is more like a slave contract, and not a real marriage.

Kinda funny Univas suddenly became outspoken like Marthin Luther King.

Tho, what makes me wonder is, what does he mean by "a new system of marriage"? Like, why can't Human and Spirit has the same marriage as Human and Human? Is the problem they have is more than "Spirit live longer than humans"?

NOW THIS IS WHAT WE SAY ULTIMATE HAREM
WELCOME, MALE BAKALINA

 

[Ezlsnow]

Univas making a vow with all spirits: "And not just the women ...but the men ...and the children too."

 

[DreickDragon]

ok... Big Harem!

 

[galaxia9]

I had the same weirded out reaction as him to the spirit marriage that it's just pledging servitude. The sudden harem is weird but his desire to make the partnership equal makes sense.

 

[alfirizkyr]

Bi? Pan? Hetero? Nah, this man is spiritsexual and won't rest until his rights are recognized

He wants a relationship of equals, I recognize his right

lightning and ice too, also plant/nature/grass, maybe non-elemental as well

 

[breakthelimit]

Sometimes I find it baffling when there’re spirit and God characters that are using glasses.
I mean wtf?! You’re a God ffs.

 

[Seraphus]

This MC claims he wants the spirits to be recognized as "people," but they aren't even "people enough" for him to believe that these girls are capable of knowing their own emotions.

He won't marry them until they are treated like people by the whole wide world, and he doesn't even accept that any of them can think for themselves on an emotional level.
... what an utter piece of shit. The Hero is pretty fucktarded, but this MC is like some kind of evil fucker who believes he is the good guy.

Notice him? Nothing he says to the spirits is what an equal says; it's all blocking their words, and treating them like tools.

aahhhhh, this classic trope again for dense MC +1 Harem but.... akggghhh

thank you for translation

It's a get-out-of-jail-free card for being a shitty/false ally.

Imagine saying you won't marry a black guy until everyone can (if they want); that just means you'll never get married, absent a literal miracle

It's a two-part cop-out used all over the world by parents, bigots, and rich American leftists: first, they refuse to go against an evil system that benefits them until nobody gets a benefit from it any longer, and second they set a goal with no clear end point.
Now, maybe the people in my example above were "against it the whole time," but that hardly matters when we apply this well observed set of circumstances to this MC who doesn't even see these girls as people.

He seems kinda trash, honestly.
